So, I’m using a Pixel 4A, and almost daily, I end up having to reboot because the navigation bar overlaps the bottom of my apps or games, and rebooting is the only way I find to fix this.
Is there another way? Did anyone know? It’s getting very frustrating. Sometimes I can’t do very basic things because of this.
I noodled with my ‘cutout’ settings in developer options and had this sort of thing happen. Even if you don’t have a punch hole camera on the pixel 4 (I honestly don’t remember if it does), if your version of Android has settings for this, it can render the UI above or below the specified viewing area.
I know this is the nav bar though, but it’s worth a shot.
Settings > Developer options* > Display cutout
*you may need to ‘become a developer’ to view these options first.
Best of luck!
Have you played with the “full screen” settings? usually at settings > display > full screen apps
Spent 20 minutes trying to find this settings. It doesn’t seem to exist on my Pixel 4a.
I can approve you that the settings mentioned here doesn’t even exist in Pixel 4A. Only some ROMs add this option into their settings on their own, but it’s not a stock Android feature.
Sometimes just a simple phone restart can do a lot. You could also try changing the navigation mode to gestures and then back to buttons which should force update the navigation bar position.
At this point I just switched to gestures permanently. Took me a few hours to get accustomed to it.
Yeah, but that is not an op’s desired solution. I think he/she is aware of the navigation gestures option.
Note that I have the latest version of Android, everything is up to date.
